Seemed appropriate.

This team is as good as it is healthy. We're bad right now, but we're also not healthy right now. If we're good come year's end and the playoffs, we'll be almost exactly where we want to be. Maybe not home court, but that's just 1 game either way.

I am not worried, but I am a little upset by what I see as missed opportunities to rest our starters and get the youngsters some playing time.  I don't want to keep them around for years (like Pruitt) if they can not contribute at any level...even in a throw away game.   They would not have changed the outcome, but at least they would have gained some valuable experience and given an indication on individual areas of most dire need for improvement.Come on, Doc...in games like this where it really doesn't matter, please play the youngsters for significant minutes.

problem is there is no lock they will get 100 percent healthy....and we ned to stop calling for PT for walker and giddens. they arent NBA players and offer boston ZERO....also do something with Scal...he stinks

[reggie35]

I'm not worried. Some minor health problems and a holiday slump leading to a few road losses... big deal. I AM worried about any remaining Friday night home games though.

I'm not worried because:

This is the part of the season where title contending teams hit bumps and are questioned (just ask Orlando and Lakers fans too), and junk teams win against good teams to get their fans' hopes up.  Don't worry, when the games really matter later on, those bad teams will falter and the very good teams will shine through.  These are just the grind it out games.

[GreenFaith1819]

Good one. Count me in. Not worried here at all. The injuries are proving to be a pain, but not worried because of it.

I'm keeping my eye on the prize - Banner 18 in June.

Walker, Giddens and Hudson are what we have...so are you advocating playing having the starters play through their injuries?  Or do you want even more time from Scal and Williams
covering for the vets?  We are not the only team dealing with or who will deal with injuries this season, and we DO need to get our key players as close to healthy as we can.

Anyone wanna change their vote? It's allowed

[celticinorlando]

worry is an understatement

[GreenFaith1819]

Nope..not changing my vote. Why worry in January?

[Drucci]

Still not worried but it's definitely frustrating to watch our team get leads, then get complacent, and get humiliated AT HOME.

I'm definitely worried about our level of play at home, because it has been more than a fluke this season.

But I'm not worried for the playoffs.

[Who]

Not worried -- Celtics continue to look more vulnerable this season but they also continue to look like a Championship caliber team. Things look and are good.

[GreenFaith1819]

worry is an understatement

I certainly see where you're coming from, but have a little faith in the team, man.

Now if Boston is doing this in April or May...standby, lol....but it's January.

I'd hate to be the team right now...DA and Doc has got to be furious.

What I'd tell the average Celtics Fan right now is this: Let's see how our team plays once KG comes back, especially against POR and LA. This little stretch right B4 the All-Star Break.

The LA game is shaping up to be one where LA will be Healthy and WE will be Healthy.

We will beat LA on 31 Jan, mark my typed word
